Albert Park-South Melbourne Rowing Club
Moore Sculling Machine
... Albert Park-South Melbourne Rowing Club Plant-Williamson ..."Grace Blake’s conversations with older members of the Club have elicited the following information during July 2014: • Don Christie recalls the machine being acquired by (or donated to) SMRC in the 1960s. SMRC later donated it to APRC. • Bob Duncan remembers it being at APRC. • Max Shaw joined the club in 1946 but doesn’t recall it at all. • Peter Watson recalls collecting the rowing machine from the old APRC club house before its demolition (c. 1995). The AP-SMRC machine carries a ‘maker’s plate’ with the name Moore... Moore Crane and Engineering Company Pty Ltd was a subsidiary of Malcolm Moore Industries Ltd whose manufacturing engineering works were located on Williamstown Road, Port Melbourne from 1927. The founder established the main business in 1921 and retired in 1953.21 The business was delisted from the Australian Stock Exchange in 1976. Grace Blake advises that some of the earlier SMRC members were plumbers and therefore worked in trades connected with engineering. She reports that Peter Watson recalls some of his contemporaries completing their engineering apprenticeships at Malcolm Moore Industries Ltd in the 1970s. There are still many unanswered questions concerning the history and provenance of the rowing machine at the time of writing this report, but the connection with a local engineering works is certainly fascinating. Questions to explore in the future include: Did Moore manufacture the machine, or import it (and perhaps assemble it) under licence? Was this machine a ‘one-off’ or did Moore make / distribute others within Australia? When, why and how did SMRC acquire the machine? Why did SMRC decide not to retain it, but to pass it over to APRC? And how did APRC use it?" 2014 Significance Assessment, pp38-40. "The ‘Moore’ Rowing Machine at the Albert Park – South Melbourne Rowing Club (AP- SMRC) is a rare example in Australia of the Kerns patent design from 1900. This machine may not, however, be that old in construction or use. The AP-SMRC machine is almost intact, appearing to lack only the leather straps for fastening the rower’s feet to the foot-rests. Spalding manufactured the design in the USA in the early decades of the 20th century, but the metal elements in its models are traditionally black. The bright red paint on the AP-SMRC machine suggests something different. The AP-SMRC machine carries a maker’s plate that associates it directly with a local engineering business, Malcolm Moore Industries Ltd of Williamstown Road, Port Melbourne. Club members recall the machine being at the South Melbourne Rowing Club in the 1960s, and being transferred at a later date to the Albert Park Rowing Club. The machine has not been used since the founding of the amalgamated AP-SMRC and requires careful conservation. The ‘Moore’ rowing machine is of national research significance as a rare survivor, in Australia, of the well-regarded Kerns patent design that was popularised by Spalding in the northern hemisphere. The English River and Rowing Museum website quotes a testimonial from an AG Spalding & Bros’ Mail Order Catalogue: ‘This machine was described by ‘an experienced oarsman’ ... “to be the most perfect rowing machine ever produced”. A feature was the adjustment of the resistance so “the weaker sex can use the machine”’. Its historic significance lies in its rarity (and perhaps uniqueness) as an aid to the training of rowers at two successful clubs on Albert Park Lake. Additional historic significance lies in the connection that the rowing machine represents between local rowing clubs and a major local manufacturing engineer. The ‘Moore’ rowing machine bridges the realms of innovation and application, of industry and recreation, of land-based and aquatic sports, and of two neighbouring rowing clubs on the Albert Park Lake." 2014 Significance Assessment, p43"A rowing machine that appears to be built to the Kerns patent design from 1900 but may not be that old in construction or use. The machine is heavy and includes parts made from cast iron. The cast iron components are painted in a distinctive bright red. The wooden seat moves on timber slides. Resistance is created by spring mechanisms at the ends of two frame elements that connect with two wooden ‘oars’, and by the central chain-driven system that co-ordinates with the rower’s movements. The machine carries a maker’s plate with the single word ‘Moore’ in an oval design, using white letters against a navy background, fastened to the base board and close to the foot-rests." 2014 Significance Assessment, p38Moorerowing, apsm rowing club, significance assessment, malcolm moore industries ltd, kerns, 1900, sculling machine, albert park rowing club, south melbourne rowing club, albert park lake, rowing machine, ergo -

The disabled sports movement which began in the United Kingdom at the Stoke-Mandeville Hospital gradually worked its way to Australia. The attempt to create a sporting movement for people with permanent spinal injuries was seen in terms of opening up opportunities for paraplegic and quadriplegic persons, while also acting as part of their physical and mental rehabilitation. Doubling up as a selection meet for the 1960 Rome Paralympics, the tournament included the following events.

Photograph - Vessel - steam launch, Mrs. A. Dawson, Lady Loch, February 1907 - June 1910
... , then later Albert Park. On 26th May 1900, she died from a burns..., then later Albert Park. On 26th May 1900, she died from a burns ...The steam launch “Lady Loch” is towing five rowing boats on the Hopkins River at Warrnambool. All of the boats have many passengers on board. At the time of the photograph, Lady Loch was travelling from the riverbank near Jubilee Park downriver towards Warrnambool and the river mouth. Boating and rowing on the Hopkins River was a very popular activity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. People would travel a long way to enjoy their leisure time in the Warrnambool district and hiring a boat with a group of friends was a very popular pastime. The Warrnambool Standard promoted an evening excursion in 1909 to aid in a fund-raising event for the Warrnambool Hospital. The excursion was a trip on the steamer Lady Loch, which would also tow boats from the Flett & Sons' boating establishment. Lady Loch was to leave Flett & Son's boatshed on the Hopkins River at 7:30 pm, upstream travelling towards Jubilee Park. The photograph was taken between February 1907 and June 1910 by Mrs A. G. Dawson from the Hopkins River Bank at “Allandale”, which she was leasing. Mrs Dawson took another picture at that time and it was published in the Warrnambool Standard on 24th March 1973. The launch's owner, James Flett & Son, had a boatshed on the bend of the Hopkins River. The Lady Loch was described as “a fine little steamer with a capacity for about 70 passengers.” She was a screw-driven steamboat so hardly disturbed the waters of the Hopkins River, dismissing the fears of local mullet fishermen, as there was almost no wash from the steamer. She measured 52 feet in length, had a beam of 9 feet and weighed about 7 tons. HISTORY OF “LADY LOCH” The Lady Loch was originally bought by Mark Hooper as a pleasure boat and named “Lady of the Lake”, adding to his boating business in Colac. The boat was most likely built by one of the boatbuilders at Lake Wendouree. The little launch arrived at Lake Colac by road from Ballarat on 21st November 1887; her boiler and engine had been transported by rail the day before. Fanny Nelson purchased the launch in June 1888 for her business “Nelson’s Boating Establishment” on the Hopkins River, Warrnambool, and renamed it “Lady Loch”. Some people suggested that the boat was renamed in honour of the wife of the then-current Governor of Victoria, Sir Henry Loch, Governor from 1884 to 1889. The local paper stated that Lady Loch flew the Governor’s colours of yellow, black and blue on her first trip under Nelson’s ownership, Sunday 12th August 1888. HISTORY ASSOCIATED WITH FANNY NELSON’S BOATING ESTABLISHMENT Frances (Fanny) Maria Mann was born in 1828, in Gloucestershire, England. She married Andrew Abernethy II Nelson of County Downs, Ireland (born 1831) in July 1848. The eldest of their six children was born there in 1854. They emigrated to Australia in May 1855. The second child was born in 1856, and the following children in 1859 and 1862 (both in Wangoom) 1866 and 1870 (both in Warrnambool). Andrew and Fanny lived near the mouth of the Hopkins River from the late 1850s. Andrew was a keen and successful fisherman who also operated a boat hire business on the lower Hopkins River. Fanny was well known for the ‘hearty meals’ she served There was another boatshed and boat hire business on the Hopkins River, on the corner of Simpson and Bostock Sts. It was owned by Joseph Aberline in 1871 but by August 1872 the boat business had been taken over by Charles Everett. His Colonial Wine Licence of October 1872 was for "a house situated at the Hopkins". In 1873 he sold the land and boating business to Mr Peter McGennan, who built a large boatshed where the Warrnambool Rowing Club stored its boats. In October 1876 the main boatshed and a workshop nearby burnt down but the house, later known as Hopkins Hotel, was saved. Mr McGennan rebuilt the boatshed and continued with his businesses. Andrew Nelson passed away from a heart problem on June 21st 1875 aged 44. Fanny took over the McGennan business to support herself and her 6 children. It was now “Mrs Nelson’s Boating and Fishing Establishment”. In 1877 the Hopkins Colonial Wine Licence was transferred to Fanny M. Nelson and the following year she advertised that the renovated establishment now had boats, fishing gear and accommodation available at moderate prices. She renewed the Colonial Wine Licence for the Hopkins Hotel in December 1883. In 1884 she purchased four new clinker-built rowing boats, two of which were outriggers with sliding seats, to join her sculling boat. Her premises also included the local Post Office. In August 1885 Fanny Nelson called for tenders for a new boathouse to be built on the Hopkins River closer to the river bank and near the Nelson house. It would be “specially built for housing of eight-oared boats, with dressing room and bath for the rowers. There will be a platform on one side and two jetties into the river.” It became known locally as Nelson’s Boathouse. In December 1885 Fanny Nelson was granted a Hotel Licence for Hopkins Hotel; this was her home but it also had six rooms that were separate from the Nelson family’s rooms. She was now proprietress of both the Hopkins Hotel and the Nelson’s Boating Establishment. Fanny Nelson was favourably mentioned as the proprietress of the Hopkins Hotel in the esteemed book “Victoria and its Metropolis” in 1888, one of the very few women mentioned. Andrew Nelson, the third son of Fanny and Andrew Nelson, was a baker and confectioner by trade, and a keen member of the Warrnambool Rowing Club in the team that won the Colac Regatta in 1887. He occasionally helped his mother and brother with the boats and later with the small steamer. Fanny Nelson was looking for a suitable steam launch to run on the Hopkins River in conjunction with her “Nelson’s Boating Establishment” business. Mark Hooper’s steamboat Lady of the Lake was then bought by Fanny through Messers St. Quintin and M. McDonald of Warrnambool. It was transported overland from Colac to Warrnambool by Messrs. Stansmore Bro and the next day, Sunday 5th August 1888, a large crowd of people were on the Hopkins River to have a look at the steamer, which was still to have her boiler and other fittings installed by Mr Hooper. The Lady Loch had a trial run on Saturday 11th August 1888, and the next day the boat took a trip to Jubilee Park and the ‘islands’ at Allansford. Mr Hooper was on board, along with John Steel, her future engineer. T.H. Osborne was at the wheel and there were over 70 passengers. She made the trip back to Nelson’s boatshed at an “easy steam of six miles an hour. The whole trip took one and three-quarters of an hour”. Fanny Nelson sold her complete business “Hopkins Hotel and Boat Establishment” in 1890 to E.S.V. (Edward Samuel Vincent) Chapman. She moved to Melbourne; her address in 1896 was South Melbourne, then later Albert Park. On 26th May 1900, she died from a burns accident and was buried in the Melbourne General Cemetery. Chapman advertised Sunday afternoon Excursions on the Hopkins River in the Colac Herald, with the trip going from his boatsheds to Jubilee Park. Participants disembarked on the landing to enjoy a picnic before returning to Chapman’s boatsheds. In February 1892 the Hotel was transferred to Mrs Chapman, Edward’s wife. The hotel changed hands several times, and changed its name to Hopkins House, then closed its doors in June 1911 after a fire. The building was re-erected but never again became a hotel. it was purchased by the Warrnambool City Council and demolished in 1974 and became part of the Hopkins River Recreation Reserve now King Park. The boatsheds were unharmed by the fire. James Flett & Sons purchased the boating business from Chapman in January 1897. James Flett had already been involved in boating. In 1875 he built a large blackwood lighter on Jetty Flat for Spencer Smith & Co. Some years previously, James Flett had built all of the lighters that were owned by John Young at the jetty. A tragedy occurred on Jan 7th 1899 when William Grayson drowned after he had been boating on Hopkins River with a companion, a jockey named Style. William had fallen into the river and his companion was unable to save him. The boat had been hired from Flett’s shed. Sunday 12th November 1911 it was reported as ‘one of the busiest days of the season’ in Warrnambool. A special train, for the ‘Camperdown Church of England Sunday School’, was run from Camperdown to Warrnambool and Port Fairy, returning in the evening. It was ‘largely availed by all denominations, and the general public from Camperdown district, fully 600 adults and children and about half that number spent the day in Warrnambool. A large number of boats were on the river and the Lady Loch was well patronised. Flett’s boating business was still in operation until Flett advertised everything for sale in January 1916, including the boatshed and the steam launch of Lady Loch. Until that time, both the Flett’s boatsheds and Proudfoot’s boathouse operated boat hire businesses alongside each other. The boatsheds erected by Fanny Nelson became the headquarters for the Warrnambool Ski Club but were demolished in 2004 when a new club building was erected nearby. The photograph of the Lady Loch pleasure steamer represents the social and recreational activities of late 19th-century people from Warrnambool and the local district. It shows an example of the pleasure craft of that era. The history of the Lady Loch includes the history of fishing and boat hire businesses of that period. The photograph is also connected with an early Warrnambool buat builder James Flett & Sons. representing the maritime history of the town.Photograph, black and white, of the steam launch “Lady Loch” towing five rowing boats downstream on the Hopkins River from Jubilee Park towards the river mouth. There are many figures on the boats. The photograph was taken from a property called “Allandale” on the south river bank between February 1907 and June 1910. The photographer was Mrs A. G. Dawson. The “Lady Loch” was owned by Mr James Flett & Sons at that time. Her previous owner was Mrs Fanny Nelson.

Badge - Visit of the Prince of Wales in 1920, 1954
At the Imperial War Conference in 1917, and again at the conference of overseas Prime Ministers in 1918, King George V had foreshadowed a visit to the Dominions by his eldest son, “when peace comes”. At the end of the War, the King kept his pledge and, following on from successful visits to other countries, including the USA and West Indies in 1919, Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, the Prince of Wales, embarked on a journey to Australia. The visit was in part to offer official thanks for the support Australia had shown Great Britain during World War I. It was also designed to strengthen the links between Australia and the Empire. The Prince of Wales arrived in Australia on board the HMS Renown in April 1920, having left England the previous month. He spent nine days in Victoria, eleven days in New South Wales, four days in Tasmania, eleven days in Western Australia, six days in South Australia and eight days in Queensland. In all, he visited 110 cities and towns across Australia.Metal badge with photo of Prince of Walesprince of wales, royal visit 1920, badge -
